Tristan Taormino

Tristan Taormino is a female porn director who is perhaps best known for her educational porn films created with Vivid and Adam and Eve. Her first porn film (as both director and performer) was The Ultimate Guide To Anal Sex For Women, based on her book of the same name. In 2006 she created the Chemistry series, pioneering a gonzo-style genre that focused on the performers choice of partner and encouraged them to have sex in whatever way best gave them pleasure. Her Expert Guides, made for Vivid, mix sex education with explicit sex scenes and cover oral sex, anal, kink, female orgasm, pegging and the G-spot.
